It was early morning and still rather cool. Fynn Barrett stood on the roof of his tower, overlooking the square and the bank of Britain, when a messenger on horseback approached. The sounds of hoofs clattering against the cobbles echoed across the still empty streets. The rider halted his horse at the tower and before dismounting shouted: "Lieutenant Fynn Barrett? I have an urgent message for you sir!" Fynn rushed down the stairs to meet him.

To all City Leaders,
The past few weeks there have been several attacks by Pirates on Trinsic, Serpent's Hold and even Britain. Until now these attacks have been relatively small and we have been able to contain them.
Today, when patrolling around Serpent's Hold, we spotted a very large fleet of ships in the distance! Might have been over two dozen even! We got in closer until we could see the black flags in their masts. They were Pirates! We quickly turned our ship around and returned to Serpent's Hold. As obviously our single patrol ship would be no match against their entire fleet.
The Pirates are clearly up to something, although I haven't a clue what it might be. I advise all of you to keep your navies at the highest alert until this threat has been dealt with!
Signed,
Colonel Clegg
